The Briton is still not feeling 100% ready for the Olympics

Andy Murray, the British tennis player and three-time Grand Slam champion, is uncertain about his participation in the Paris Olympic Games due to his current form and physical condition. The 37-year-old Murray, who is also the only male player to have won two Olympic singles gold medals, mentioned the possibility of retiring from tennis after Wimbledon.

Murray expressed his uncertainty regarding the Olympics in an interview with the “Daily Express,” where he highlighted issues with his back that have affected his performance on clay courts. He said, “I need to see what happens with the Olympics. I’m still not 100 percent sure what the situation is there with doubles and whether I’ll play or not, if I just go for singles. I don’t know. My body hasn’t felt good on clay over the past month. I’ve had quite a few issues with my back, so I don’t know if I would go just for singles.”

Murray’s remarks come after a recent loss to American Marcos Giron in the first round of the grass-court tournament in Stuttgart, Germany. His career highlights include winning gold medals in the singles at the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, as well as a silver medal in mixed doubles with Laura Robson at the 2012 Olympics.

The tennis tournament at the Paris Olympics will take place on the courts of Roland Garros from July 27 to August 4, 2024.
